VINNOVA Annual Conference

Tomorrow’s jobs and welfare require that Sweden has a competitive production. Through the influence and impact locally, regardless of location in the world, we need to contribute to the renewal of a sustainable world. We need to understand the challenges and the demand that exists both in Sweden and globally. How do we put knowledge, skills and experience in new and better solutions for the needs of tommorrow? Sweden has always been a strong country of production with competitive production, knowledge, raw materials, experience and ability to lead and organize complex product development and production. The re-industrialization wave is now a fact in the major industrialized countries. What are the demands on Sweden and how do we mobilize? How can Sweden be a globally responsible stakeholder for future production ?
